More of the Same

Is it me, or do things just seem a bit slow at the moment? Obama is far enough ahead that he doesn't really want to make any news, so he's out campaigning, but I didn't really see anything that he's doing to make waves. The McCain campaign, on the other hand, is getting more and more desperate. I've got nothing to add, but take a look at what the McCain campaign--or its associates, at least--have been up to in Pennsylvania. David Kurtz and Josh Marshall talk about the false mugging of Ashley Todd and the complicity (and denials) of McCain's Pennsylvania campaign here and here. If that's not enough, Kurtz discusses a mailer targeting Pennsylvania Jews that warns of how an Obama victory could be a harbinger of another Holocaust. Unsurprisingly, reports of whether the mailer had the authorization of the state campaign differ.

Even with the McCain hijinks, the campaign seems to me to be taking on a sameness. Maybe tomorrow will bring something different.
